Ruby,
I've been away and just saw your post. I don't know if you'll see this before or after your trip, but it doesn't matter. I'm sending prayers up for your daughter and little Isabelle Page. Hopefully, you'll feel them and know that you can count me in with the rest of your friends who care very deeply about you, Ken and your family.
Love
Jan

Just got back from Arkansas and Heather is doing fine. Two weeks away from due date and she is miserable but fine. We did our best but don't think we put any weight on her (although I gained 3 pounds!) She goes back to the doctor Tuesday so we will see what happens. I love you guys! So many friends praying, thinking good thoughts, sending healing energy, whatever you believe in... all coming our way. Incredible! Believe me I'll let you know as soon as I know something. We did up the nursery, painted nursery rhymes on the walls and Grammy here had a ball! So everything is ready. It's just a waiting game at this point.

Oh boy. I hope you're not all talkin' funny and sayin things like "I reckon I'm feelin' tolerable"...and I hope you haven't takin' up that nasty habit of dippin' snuff.
heh heh.
Welcome back Ruby. Glad that everything is ok and you got the nursery painted up.

Shore nuff, we's all back fat and sassy, so you can jist shut yo're yap and slap yo're Grandma. Speaking of Grandmas...I IS ONE!!!! Isabelle Page Allen was born yesterday at 8:17 p.m. Two weeks early but mommy and baby are doing fine! She's 6 lbs 18 3/4" long and just beautiful. Heather called at noon and said she was in labor, it took us 6 1/2 hours to get ready and get down there. We were an hour away when Jay called and said she was ready to deliver. I was about to cry but was driving so instead I just hit the gas and hoped for no HP's. We made it with time to spare. Miss Isabelle wanted her grandparents there and that's what she got! I've already got to feed her and change a diaper. Going back Friday to spend a week and they do NOT have internet so I will be off line for awhile. I am so pumped!!! Thanks for all the support you guys have given me. You were always there when I needed you. Love, Granny Ruby

How exciting for you and how perfect that she waited for you to be there to witness her arrival. Enjoy your week with her. We'll be here when you get back, waiting for details (not about diapers, however).

Fantastic news, Granny Ruby! We were praying and holding momma, baby and grandma close in our hearts. So glad to hear all is so well. I've got a smile from ear to ear. Have a wonderful time.

Thanks to all my friends. I guess I never really realized that your heart and soul could sing so loudly for such a tiny litttle thing that you've only held for a few moments. To see the look on my daughter's face while she was talking to Isabelle and calling her "Peanut", the absolute joy on Jay's face when he came out of the delivery room and to have my so tough husband completely smitten at first sight of his grand-daughter. Amazing. Life can be good, so very, very good.

Sitting here basking in all the **********Positive Energy************* Breathing in all the *********JOY************* I am so content knowing that our Rubyslippers is GLISTENING, SPARKLING as only a Grand Ruby will!
Close my eyes, Deep breath in, comforting sigh out... thank you for sharing this with us, it is a moment in time which I will return to several times today, recenter reconnect with the wonderment of life.
Love you Ruby! Hazel

Sorry Miss Ruby to mess your post up with this one, but its how I am feeling. In fact just eaten up with those feelings of dread. I have spent a week crying and trying to pray harder than I ever have before.
My oldest (just 19) leaves Sunday for Marine Boot Camp. We have to say good bye on Sunday, he leaves monday, whats the difference?
I don't know how to do this part of being a parent. I thought college, but not this. I honestly don't know, how does this part work?
I'm a patriotic woman, but the mommy in me is winning over the heart.
Couple of weeks ago the hubby and I took a short trip. Upon getting through secruity at the airport I walked into a group of big strong Army guys. Men really! By habit I told them thank you for their service and God speed. Then I watched them walk away and just started crying thinking, mine is a boy still, not one of those men.
Where's the book that tells me how to keep moving?

Oh Lynne I wish I was there to put my arms around you and tell you that everything will be just fine. I just know God will take care of him and bring him home safely. He will be in my nightly prayers along with the rest of you.
Please take care my friend and my thoughts and prayers will be with you this weekend.
Love you and lots and lots and lots of hugs to you, hubby and your son.
